The main achievement was the surprising approval of Trump&#8217;s 20-point peace plan between Israel and Hamas, which includes a prisoner swap following the Hamas attack on Israelis in October 2023. This breakthrough peace agreement, accepted by Israel, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and several Arab countries, is seen as a significant diplomatic accomplishment, with Trump gaining praise from international leaders and some critics. <\/p>\n<p>Along with the peace deal, Trump made progress on his promise to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/grading-doge-at-trumps-100-day-mark-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Grading DOGE at ...s 100 Day Mark - Washington Examiner\">reduce federal bureaucracy<\/a> and decrease the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >illegal immigrant population<\/a>. Though, a major drawback was a negative reaction from Wall Street to his tariff threats against China. <\/p>\n<p>Democratic pollster John Zogby, who usually grades Trump poorly, awarded him an A for achieving the peace deal, acknowledging its flaws but emphasizing its short-term benefits for safety. Conservative analyst Jed Babbin gave Trump an A+ for the same reason and also criticized Democratic handling of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congress-members-wont-take-pay-during-government-shutdown\/\" title=\"Congress members won&#039;t take pay during government shutdown\">ongoing government shutdown<\/a>. Babbin noted Trump&#8217;s potential plan to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine as a move that coudl affect the war with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>the article presents the peace agreement as a rare and significant success for Trump&#8217;s administration amidst ongoing political challenges.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Prince of peace wins rare straight A&rsquo;s: White House Report Card&nbsp;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2369458\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Almost everything went President Donald Trump&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3845035\/trump-kushner-witkoff-israel-hamas-peace-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">way this week<\/a>, giving him rare straight A&rsquo;s from both our politically opposite graders of the <em>Washington Secrets<\/em> weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White House<\/a> Report Card.<\/p>\n<p>Overshadowing everything this week was the surprising approval by Israel and Hamas of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-taking-regeneron-drug-remdesivir-therapy-for-coronavirus-diagnosis-ex-wh-doctor-explains\/\" title=\"Trump taking Regeneron drug, Remdesivir therapy for coronavirus diagnosis: ex-WH doctor explains\">president&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3844475\/trump-gaza-victory-lap-white-house-cabinet-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20-point peace plan,<\/a> beginning with a prisoner swap and return of Israelis captured in the horrific Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on civilians.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3843918\/promise-kept-historic-drop-in-illegal-immigrants-under-trump\/\">Promise kept: Historic drop in illegal immigrants under Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3842338\/government-shutdown-poll-democrats-illegal-immigrant-healthcare\/\">Shutdown: Voters say Democrats did it for illegal immigrants<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3842044\/c-span-america-250-anniversary-media-partner\/\">C-SPAN picked as first America250 media partner<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>International presidents, Democratic leaders, and most of his critics gave Trump and his team kudos for pushing the deal through, something that presidents since Jimmy Carter have tried to do.
